Star Wars 8 new TV trailer: Snoke's throne room reveals THIS is what keeps him alive

STAR WARS 8 new TV trailer 'Awake' reveals two huge secrets about Snoke's throne room that show how he steals and channels his Force power and how he communicates across the galaxy – and perhaps how he can be defeated.

The mysterious First Order leader finally appeared in the recent Last Jedi trailers and he seems to demonstrate terrifying strength as he tortures Rey. But is he actually torturingher or draining her power, like a vampire?

The latest TV teaser clip gives the first clear look at Snoke and his Praetorian Guards in his throne room.

Eage-eyed fans have spotted two machines that are hugely important and explain how the ancient and "vulnerable" creature is able to channel so much Force power and also how he sent that impressive hologram all the way across the galaxy to Starkiller Base.

Star Wars Youtube channel Mike Zeroh believes the machine to the right of Snokes throne is a way to drain the Force power from those around him and store it to prolong his life and augment his own powers.

The machine to the side of his throne was partially visible in a behind-the-scenes shot of Rey and Rian Johnson.

It has also been seen as a toy, with some kind of bright energy (presumably thr Force) pulsing inside.

It was already rumoured that Snoke's Praetorian Guard willingly allowed their master to 'leech' their strength. The new machine adds weight to the theory that Snoke will also try and drain Rey's incredible powers from her.

The second machine above the throne is believed to be the way Snoke communicates via hologram.

Zeroh says: "It is a device that allows him to project himself as a hologram... It fully scans his whole entire throne in a three-dimentional format."
